摘要：
Fusarium is an opportunistic fungal pathogen which is emerging as a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised hosts. We present a rare case of F. verticillioides fungemia that occurred in a patient who underwent a second orthotopic liver transplantation for chronic rejection and completely responded to treatment with voriconazole.
